    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Allow me to urge Members to reject this Bill. My reasons are very clear. Once we pass this Bill, we shall be condemning our people to poverty. Why? This is one of the Bills that have been crafted to do a reverse gear back to the 18th Century. It is purporting to give intellectual property on forms of associations which are very amorphous. If we give powers to the Kikuyu community to claim intellectual property over the kiondo, for example; who will enforce that law? Who will take it to the bank? Who is the leader of the Kikuyu community? The same applies to all the other communities. There is no way you can bestow upon a non-legal entity any form of property. This is what is being purported by this Bill. I urge Members to be very cautious in passing this Bill. I understand that it is a constitutional requirement for us to pass this Bill."
